DECEPTIVE ENTERTAINMENTS.

It has become quite fashionable
in some parts of the country for
the schools and colleges to give
entertainments at their close and
charge admission fees thereto. The
admission fees is charged, ostensi-
bly,, for the purpose of buying
apparatus, books for a library, OF
some other benevolent design. A
nice entertainment may be good
good thing when it does not con-
sumo couple of months of the
children's valuable time, or un-
fold a precedent which must prove
to them a positive injury. The
manner of advertising and means
used to secure patronage must
have demoralizing effect on the
children. The posters announce
that, the proceeds will be used for
a benevolent purpose, and little
ones accept the statement in good
faith and go to work with a zeal
that is ever a characteristic of
childhood. They distribute the
advertising matter and sell the
tickets never forgetting to admon-
ish the purchaser as to how the
proceeds are to be used. When
one refuses to buy or in any way
support such entertainment, he is
dubbed an enemy to schools and to
benevolent movements generally.
By such means a fine patronage is
obtained and large sums of money
are gathered in at these entertain
ments. Now comes the wrong: the
children and those who took part
In the entertainment have worked
with but one idea-a benevolent
one. But as the days go by and
the apparatus does not materialize,
the libraries do not grow to any
perceivable extent, nor have any of
the poor been fed or warmed, not
only the little ones but the older
heads as well begin to wonder
what became of the money. 1t
may never be positively known
what became of the money, but as
they grow older they will be able
to form a tolerably correct conclu-
sion as to its final disposition.
Excepting the inheritance from
the mother, nothing has SO much

Weekly Crop Summary.

CHICAGO, May 2d.-The condi-
tions, in the main, have been fav-
orable for the growing winter
wheat during the past week.
Rains have fallen in all of the
States, though in portions of Kan
sas, Missouri and Illinois the need
of rain is still said to be urgent.
The average of the condition in
twenty Illinois counties reporting
this week is so per cent. In Cum
berland, Edwards, Mercer and
Macoupin counties, the condition
ton is placed at ITO per cent. In
Carroll, Fayette, Hardin and
Warren counties, it is placed at
100. In Adams, Clay. Henry,
Lawrence, LaSalIe, Marshal and
White Counties, it ranges from 60
to 80 per cent. In Franklin, JEFF
ferson and johnson counties the
percentage is placed as low as so
per cent.
The average for Indiana are
about the same as those in Hin
ois. In Bartholomew, Clinton,
Rush, Shelby, Spencer and john
son counties the average ranges
from 100 to Ito, while in DeKalb,
Pike, Adams and Randolph coun-
ties the per centages range from
so to so per cent. In Ohio the
average ranges lower, very few
counties reporting a full average
of condition. In Defiance county
the average is placed at 40 per ct.
while in Van Vert county fully
one-fourth of the fields have been
plowed under and oats will be
sown. In Cuyahoga, Hardin and
Mercer counties the outlook is re-
garded as very poor.
The average of condition in
twenty-one Kansas counties is 81
per cent. number of the counties
noting an improvement in conse-
quence of recent rains, Bourbon
Cherokee, Crowley, Dickinson,
Ellsworth, Leavenworth, Mitchell
and Montgomery counties give the
promise of full average yield,
while Edwards, Davis, Clay,
Brooks, Rush and Woodson coun-
ties the percentages range from 80
to 70 per cent. In Missouri the
percentage is 81.
The condition of spring wheat
in Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska
is reported to be good though
rains are needed. The acreage in
Iowa promises to be fully as large
as last year, if not somewhat larg-
er. The meadows in Illinois, In
diana and Ohio are thin and slow
in starting. Widespread injury to
clover fields in Illinois is reported
owing to injury from freezing.

MISSOURI.

Missouri is a great common
wealth of happy homes. The
people are Industrious and intelli-
gent and consequently, contented
and happy. The state has never
indulged in wild advertising
schemes to induce strangers to
come here and purchase property
at fabulous prices that the owners
might be able to pay their debts
and leave the country. While it
has had more to contend with than
any other state, it has come out
grandly. not only paying all its
debts, but generously forgiving
its debtors. To-day its bonds
command a higher premium than
those of any other state; its
school fund is the largest and its
public school system will compare
favorably with sister states that
have had the advantage of many
more years experience. Ne state
in the Union possesses SO many adj
vantages and our people appre-
ciate the fact. The soil is fertile,
and the climate mild and healihful.
With the "Father of Waters"
washing the eastern border the
entire length of the state, the
great Missouri dividing it in twain
and perfect net work ofrailroads
leading to excellent markets on
either side, profit in all kinds of
business is assured; hence the
people of the state are satisfied to
live and die on Missouri soil.
They are proud of the state and
cherish its grand memories with
greatful devotion. They love its
laws, revere its institutions,
and are loyal to its government.
They are charmed by the grand
eur and picturesque beauty of its
scenery and never tire of the
splendid panorama of widening
views that stretch out into the
dim distance until earth and sky
seem to meet.
Missouri cares not for the emf
grants who have passed over its
fair domains, in the darkness of
night, on foul emigrant trains.
But to this land is invited the in
telligent and progressive citizen,
from the bleak regions of the
north, the sterile hillsides of the
east and the malaria breeding
swamps of the south. Come bask
in our glorious sunshine, cultivate
our fertile soil and grow rich from
its bounteous harvests. Come
and build you home for old age,
where your declining years will
pass as pleasant dream and your
children will rise up and call you
blessed for having secured to
them a heritage in SO goodly a
land.
